STYLE’S UNIQUE COLLECTION OF PREMIUM QUALITY BAMBOO FLOORING IS ONE OF THE HARDEST MATERIALS IN THE TIMBER FLOOR CATEGORY.
HARDER THAN HARDWOOD™
Created from 100% sustainable and renewable bamboo, Style flooring is manufactured using our patented Style Green Technology™ to transform the original exotic grass into a premium quality, high performance flooring material. The final result is not only one of the most durable timber floors on the market (with nearly 3 times the hardness of Red Oak) but a uniquely natural visual that will add style and beauty to every room.
JANKA HARDNESS COMPARISON CHART
Combining the best quality bamboo with our patented hydraulic technology, Style's range of high performance products are created to last. With a Janka hardness rating measuring an average of 176% harder than Red Oak and 275% harder than Maple, Style's flooring has exceptional indentation resistance perfect for high traffic commercial application.
The Janka hardness test measures the hardness of wood. It involves measuring the force required to embed an 11.28 mm (0.444 in) steel ball into wood to half its diameter. It is widely used to determine whether a species of wood is suitable for use as flooring. The higher the number, the harder the floor.
